The Cardinals went off the board in a big way for Nick Nash, 92 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

However the rest shakes out, Campbell at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Will Campbell · OT · rank 15
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 57
A reach for Trey Amos in the 47th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 40
Jihaad Campbell in slot 78 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Shemar Turner · DL · rank 165
Shemar Turner at No. 114 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.10 · Pick 148 · Nick Nash · QB · rank 240
Nick Nash at the 148th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
